The Joker is a tremendous vehicle for talented actors. Cesar Romero's was a bubbly, lunatic criminal. Nicholson did him as a vain, preening manipulator. Heath's performance of the Joker was remarkable, too. His was a low-simmering crazy street clown. Joker can be played all these ways, and they're all true.

Paul Dini

I want to play my Joker. Not the Joker, but my Joker. Somebody who can have fun doing wrong.

Sam Richardson

I didn't find fame particularly difficult, partly because I'm proud to be able to say I'm the most unrecognisable face in pop.

KT Tunstall

I really think there's no difference between an art piece made by a man and one made by a woman. Is it a good art piece or a bad art piece? Of course, if you're female, you're maybe dealing with different issues.

Marina Abramovic

Perhaps there is a reason that there is no fool piece on the chessboard. What action, a fool? What strategy, a fool? What use, a fool? Ah, but a fool resides in a deck of cards, a joker, sometimes two. Of no worth, of course. No real purpose. The appearance of a trump, but none of the power: Simply an instrument of chance. Only a dealer may give value to the joker.

Christopher Moore

A performance art piece is unprecedented. It is difficult to censor since it has a good possibility of never being done before.

Jack Bowman

There is something particularly fascinating about seeing places you know in a piece of art - be that in a film, or a photograph or painting.

Sara Sheridan

I find pop art really offensive because it's taking a piece of popular culture and putting it somewhere where people can't see it.

Rebecca Sugar

I went to art school for fine art and then I started doing performance art, and then I started making fun of performance art, and it turned into comedy.

Mary Lynn Rajskub

I'm inspired by good work. Whether it is a great performance by another actor, a piece of art, or someone doing something altruistic.

Mateus Ward

I love political cartoons from the 19th century, and whenever I complete a piece of acting work that I'm particularly proud of, be it a film or play, I treat myself to a picture by caricaturist James Gillray.

Miriam Margolyes

The dance, just as the performance of the actor, is kinesthetic art, art of the muscle sense. The awareness of tension and relaxation within his own body, the sense of balance that distinguishes the proud stability of the vertical from the risky adventures of thrusting and falling--these are the tools of the dancer.

Rudolf Arnheim

Does art have a future? Performance genres like opera, theater, music and dance are thriving all over the world, but the visual arts have been in slow decline for nearly 40 years. No major figure of profound influence has emerged in painting or sculpture since the waning of Pop Art and the birth of Minimalism in the early 1970s.

Camille Paglia

For me, music is my art and what I have dedicated my life to. For fashion designers, clothing is art. Just as much as a piece of music that I might write is a piece of art. Being able to merge the two industries on stage or at an event is really fun.

Kate Nash

Right now anything made for the iPad is like performance art. I'm not interested in performance art. Comics are too hard to make to be done for such a passing blip. When it stabilizes, I'll look at it.

Art Spiegelman

I'm really into the recycling of art. That one piece of art inspires another piece of art, which inspires another piece of art. I really like that idea.
